  • Method for establishing an electrically conductive connection between an electrical line and an electrical conductive component
    Patent number: 9812835
    Abstract: In order to provide a method for establishing an electrically conductive connection between an electrical line which includes a plurality of individual conductors and an electrically conductive component which is easily realizable but nevertheless leads to a corrosion resistant connection between the individual conductors of the electrical line and the electrically conductive component, it is proposed that the method includes producing a crimping element that surrounds the individual conductors sectionally from a crimping element preform by means of a crimping tool, and connecting at least a portion of the individual conductors to the electrically conductive component by an ultrasonic welding process by means of a sonotrode.
